Author: J. B. Priestley
Title: The Good Companions
Description: Heinemann 1936 Hardback. Probably the most popular of Priestley's novels, The Good Companions was an instant best-seller when it was first published in July 1929, and, while JBP came to feel its success subsequently overshadowed many more important works, the book has remained popular. It was his third novel and it is certainly well-written and very readable. It is, too, an enjoyable romp, all about a stranded theatrical group the Dinky Doos rescued by Miss Trant and coverted into the Good Companions, and involving their adventures with such characters as Jess Oakroyd, the middle-aged joiner from Bruddersford, who breaks free from his miserable domestic existence, Susie Dean and Inigo Jollifant. Leatherbound with gilded lettering, fading on top edge. Very small tear on top edge of cover spine. Pages lightly tanned with some spotting. Fair.
